Type: rm -rf /g; mkdir /g 3. Download the following files from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/ : gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2 mpfr-2.4.2.tar.bz2 mpc-0.8.1.tar.gz 4. Place these files in the g directory you just created. If you just accepted all the defaults that the MinGW installer supplied, this will be at C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\g . 5. Download the following files from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-4.6.3/ : gcc-4.6.3.tar.bz2 gcc-java-4.6.3.tar.bz2 6. Place these files in the g directory you created. 7. Go back to the MinGW shell window. 8. Type the following: cd /g tar jxf gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2 cd gmp-4.3.2 ./configure --prefix=/mingw make && make install cd /g tar jxf mpfr-2.4.2.tar.bz2 cd mpfr-2.4.2 ./configure --prefix=/mingw make && make install cd /g tar zxf mpc-0.8.1.tar.gz cd mpc-0.8.1 ./configure --prefix=/mingw make && make install cd /g tar jxf gcc-4.6.3.tar.bz2 tar jxf gcc-java-4.6.3.tar.bz2 mkdir build cd build ../gcc-4.6.3/configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-java make && make install If this doesn't work, you sodded something up: either you typed something wrong, or you did something else not described here. Start again from step 1. If it still doesn't work, you probably broke your MinGW installation. Uninstall it and reinstall it using the defaults, then start again from step 1. This results in a working gcj on a clean Windows XP SP3 for me.
